I think that it is a very refreshing thing that you posted this beautiful picture, just to share....what a nice change from all the hatred and back and forth going around...thank you...beauitful shot, please share more....

I think eye of the beholder means that the reason the sunsets are so red and orange is because as the sun moves towards the horizon, the light must go through more and more of the atmosphere. If the atmosphere has many particulates in it, like CO2, then there is too much stuff blocking the light to travel. Meaning that the high frequency of the blue light doesn't travel as far as the low frequency of the red light, so the result is that we see the more reddish colors of white light than the bluish colors.
It's just basic high school physics.
